Parmesan Zucchini Spears

Are you ready to up your zucchini game? And by 'up your game' I don't mean 'up your work'. This is a very simple, yet insanely delicious way to use up all that late summer zucchini that is coming out of ears everywhere. Make only what you'll eat--leftovers of this particular side aren't stellar.

Place your zucchini and the olive oil in a large Ziploc bag. Shake to coat. Mix all the other ingredients (cheese and seasonings) together in a small dish, then add to the bag and shake again until the zucchini are nice and coated. Place a metal cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet lined with foil and spray well (or some other metal rack...I use the ones from the inside of our smoker). Arrange the spears on the rack, making sure they don't touch (so they roast and don't steam). Take any leftover seasoning goodness from the bag and press it on the spears. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Turn on the broil and broil an additional 2-3 minutes or until crisp and toasty. Devour. Marinara and/or ranch for dipping are optional, but tasty.

I do what I do because I love it. The greatest part of existing on this planet is the ability to work with other humans and see their joy come to life. That's why I work in two different worlds.

As a wedding planner, I am lucky enough to get to know couples as they go through an intense but really joyful journey. My goal is for you to focus on the marriage part, while I focus on the wedding part of. Let me take some of the work of your hands and let you two enjoy your day, enjoy the people that will be celebrating with you, and be in the moment.

As a web developer and digital marketer, I get to see your heart and soul come to life on the interwebs. We get to discuss your goals and your vision, and my hope is that I help that come to fruition. Basically, I am here to make dreams come true, and I could not think of a better way to exist.

I currently live with my fiancé and attempt to bribe him daily into letting me get a puppy. Lover of eggs and avocado toast, too many potted plants, a good Netflix binge, and swearing more than my parents would care to hear.
